Join thousands taking action for animals from home
Every day, millions of animals are suffering inside an industry built to keep them out of sight, screaming, and struggling in ways the public rarely sees before they are ultimately slaughtered.
Animal Protectors, Animal Equality’s digital volunteer group, demand an end the suffering and exploitation animals are forced to endure on farms and at slaughterhouses by:
- Pushing for laws and protections that tackle animal cruelty
- Exposing the hidden realities animals face on farms and slaughterhouses with the world
- Inspiring people to leave animals off their plates and institutions to transition to plant-based alternatives
All this can be achieved through simple online actions that will be sent straight to your inbox!
You can complete these tasks from the comfort of your home using a phone or computer, taking only 5 minutes out of your day. These quick actions may look like:
- Sending emails to politicians and corporations
- Calling out companies and decision-makers on social media
- Sharing our investigations and findings to boost to wider audiences
Want to take more action?
Every action for animals matters. Advocacy for animals takes many forms, both online and in person.
Help bring our campaigns to life as an In-Person Animal Protector. This is where the movement gets loud and impossible to ignore.
This dedicated activism group brings the fight for animals to the streets: in front of Parliament to push for legislative change, at the steps of corporations profiting from animal exploitation, and at the doors of companies that broke their promise to animals.

No cage is a place for a mother. Not a gestation crate. Not a farrowing crate. Not whatever cage system the industry may try to push instead. We didn’t accept it in 1999, and we won’t accept it now.

Why the foie gras import ban is at risk, and how to save it
Foie gras is produced by force-feeding ducks and geese multiple times a day. A tube is pushed down their throats and food is pumped into their bodies until their livers become diseased and swell to ten times their normal size. The cruelty is so clear-cut that the UK banned its production nearly twenty years ago,…

Do you have questions? We have the answers!
Why are Animal Equality and Animal Protectors primarily dedicated to protecting animals on farms and slaughterhouses?
+Every year in the world more than 70 billion farmed land animals are bred and killed for human consumption. This number does not even include farmed fish. Despite these alarming statistics, farmed animals are often forgotten, with donations made to help them accounting for less than 1% of all donations made to animal charities.
By supporting Animal Equality, you will help us create a world where they don’t have to suffer.
What do I need to do to be part of Animal Protectors?
+All you need to do is complete the registration form and that’s it, you’re already part of the team! You will start receiving emails with simple and effective online actions to help animals immediately, such as signing petitions and contacting politicians.
How do the actions of Animal Protectors help animals?
+These actions expose the truth of the cruel and abusive treatment of animals inside farms and slaughterhouses. Through this, they inspire people to leave animals off their plates, motivate major companies to say no to confinement of animals, and put pressure on the Government to pass laws to protect animals.
Can I also support street actions?
+Every action for animals matters, both online and in person. While being an Animal Protector allows you to help animals no matter where you are, street actions give you the opportunity to bring our campaigns to life. Learn more about In-Person Animal Protectors, our dedicated group of activists who fight for animals in peaceful protests and powerful demonstrations.
